2. It’s
always a good idea to start collecting papers the moment you have signed in for
the swap. It gives you more time to add nice stuff and the sending will go more
quickly afterwards. (Please have in mind, that sending mails to oversea’s
countries can take 3 weeks or more!)

Always
send something that’s typical for your country/area and can’t be bought
anywhere else. (It can be anything, a magazine page, a flyer, a postcard, some
of your own art….)

3. Try
to contact your partner asap after you have got the pairing lists.

Avoid
using the phrase „swap partner“ in the reference line of your e-mail, for it
may land in the spam folder. Please check your spam folder from time to time,
especially German participants may have the problem, that their accounts
automatically sort out e-mails in foreign languages.

4. Correspond
with your swap partner about how much to send, special wishes, likes and
dislikes, for it may prevent both from disappointment. It would be ever so nice if you send a quick
note to let your partner know you have sent out. If you have a blog, a
Flickr/Tumblr/pinterest account, please share it to learn more about each other.

Last, not least: Paper Swap is no political blog, BUT, it's an international project to connect people. As such it is about reaching a hand, tolerance and political correctness.I, myself and the things I do are strictly against racism, sexism and other disfunctional tendencies of our modern society. So I have the strong believe, that Trump voters and devotees of other right-wing politicians and groups should look elsewhere for sharing their papers and artworks. Thanks for your understanding.
